Italian text
Dimmi Clori gentil perche non ami,
Aman la terra e'l cielo,
Amano'l caldo e'l gelo,
Le cose inanimate e le viventi,
Le piant' e i pesci, gl'augelli e gl'armenti,
Quel Usignol non senti,
Ch'à la compagna sua sovra quel ramo,
Racconta i suoi lamenti,
Dolce cantand' in mille guise io t'amo,
Et ella che non ha minor desio,
Replica dolcement'i t'amo anch' io.
